Roller Bearings

Roller bearings are critical components in many industrial systems, valued for their durability and high load-handling efficiency. They are broadly categorized into radial roller bearings and thrust roller bearings, each optimized for different load orientations.

Radial roller bearings are designed primarily to carry loads perpendicular to the shaft (radial loads). Many designs can also handle significant axial loads in combination with radial loads. Their inner and outer rings feature straight raceways, enabling smooth motion of the cylindrical rollers, which reduces friction, minimizes wear, and extends service life.

Thrust roller bearings, on the other hand, are engineered specifically for loads parallel to the shaft (axial loads) and have little to no capacity for radial loads. Their rings have precision-machined raceways on opposing faces, which align with the rollers to ensure even axial load distribution and operational stability.

MAX manufactures roller bearings in various designs and dimensional series.
